Biography
Joe Manditski was born in Cleveland, Ohio to a Polish immigrant family, and he was raised in the working-class Collinwood neighborhood. He grew up with Danny Greene, who would go on to become an Irish Mob boss in the city, and he arrested Greene in 1961 after Greene was revealed to be engaged in union corruption. Manditski would rearrest Greene in 1971 after Greene's murder of Mike Frato, but was forced to release him after it was revealed that Greene had acted in self-defense. In 1977, Manditski met Greene for the last time, when he warned him that the Genovese crime family had put a hit on him, and offered him police protection; however, Greene said that his enemies would be taken care of. On 6 October 1977, Greene was killed in a car bombing.
